Here's me in the Big Hair 80's, cute huh?  At the moment they shot this picture I was NOT thinking "hey one day I wanna be an agent of change by engineering and pastoring a 21st ministry".  Who woulda guessed?

Anyway...We have Thrust!

Here's the big news: God has brought us a new Student Ministries Pastor, Allen Coleman.  This prayer saturated search was completed in just a few months by God's Grace - further confirming my move into Elevation.  The locating and hiring of a new Student Ministry Pastor was a KEY event in starting the countdown to the official Elevation Launch because until we located and hired the right man I have been committed to giving my all in Student Ministry.   A long search would have greatly hindered Elevation's launch.  Allen will start October 1, this means I will be able to gain traction on Elevation planning and prep this month and will be the Full Time Pastor of Elevation in less than 30 days allowing me to focus every moment on more Thrust. 

Current next steps are: I will be continuing to interview possible Elevation worship pastors, write job descriptions for the worship pastor and admin positions and will be getting the Student Center technology upgrades finished as I also transition the Youth Ministry.  I'll also be on staff retreat for a few days this month and be taking some vacation time to rest up after the wild summer of events and missions. 

Plan on a late October Elevation Sunday night preview service (date TBA), we'll also have one preview service in November and another in December.  I plan to have Elevation fully launched with weekly services in January, God willing (and Worship Pastor arriving).
